Birth Giver Value

The book uniquely focuses on motherhood within agrarian societies, moving beyond generalizations to explore how agricultural practices shape perceptions of women.
It unfolds by first introducing the concept of ""birth giver value"" and then presenting case studies from pre-industrial European villages, traditional Asian farming communities, and indigenous American agricultural societies.
By drawing on anthropological sources, including ethnographic studies and historical documents, the book progresses to analyze the implications of birth giver value in contemporary social issues, such as declining birth rates and the changing roles of women.
